One Source Favorites


Are you tired of paying too much for channels that you don’t ever watch? Well you’re in luck, cutting the cord has never been easier than it is right now. There are so many different streaming services available creating an option for everyone.  Here at One Source we find the hardest issue for people to get started is figuring out which streaming service is best for them.  We want to help you though that process, here are a few   of our favorite services.

One Source Favorites 

Three Base Package Options with Optional Add-On Packages Available:

Sling Orange $25/month with LIVE TV.  Receive 32 channels including ESPN, Disney, HGTV, History and more.  Includes one stream.
Sling Blue $25/month with LIVE TV. Receive over 40+ channels including FS1, NBC Sports (regional), FX, HGTV, History, Nick Jr and more.  Includes three streams.
Orange + Blue $40/month combines programming from both packages and includes four streams.
Add-On Packages:  There are multiple to choose from, starting at just $5.
DVR: For an additional $5 per month you get 50 hours of storage
One Source Review: Sling has a great starting price point of $25/month.  You have the option to purchase add-on packages or combine both Sling Orange and Blue to get all the channels you want. The service does not include local channels at this time.

Two Package Options

Package 1 $16/month with LIVE TV.  Receive 44 channels and three streams.
Package 2 $20/month with LIVE TV. Receive 57 channels and three streams.
Channels: AMC, Animal Planet, Discovery, Food Network, ALL the Hallmark Channels, HGTV, History and more; NO SPORTS OR LOCAL CHANNELS.
Streams: Is the number of devices you can watch TV on at the same time, for example TV’s, tablets, phones, laptops, etc.
DVR: Unlimited DVR, save shows for up to 30 days.
One Source Review: With an unlimited DVR, three streams and a low price of $16 Philo has a nice offering, but for those who need local channels and sports this service won’t be for you.

One Package $40/month with LIVE TV.  Local channels, ESPN, BTN Network, FS1, FS2, NBA TV, Disney, CNN, TCM, TNT, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, TBS, and more.  Includes three streams.
Streams: Is the number of devices you can watch TV on at the same time, for example TV’s, tablets, phones, laptops, etc.
DVR: You can record as many programs as you want at the same time, without ever running out of storage space and you can keep each recording for 9 months
One Source Review: YouTube TV has some of the best features with its unlimited DVR, ability to stream to three TV’s at the same time and an easy to use interface.  The channel lineup focuses mostly on sports and lacks quite a few of the more popular entertainment channels, so this service may not fit everyone’s needs.

One Base Package with Optional Add-On Packages Available:

Base Package $44.99/month with LIVE TV.  Receive 85+ channels including local, FS1, NBA TV, NFL Network, AMC, History, HGTV, BTN Network, Hallmark, CNN, TCM, RSN (Regional Sports Networks) and more.  Includes two streams.

DVR: The base package includes 30 hours of storage with the option to upgrade to 500 hours for an additional $9.99 per month
One Source Review: fuboTV is a good all-around service, it has a lot of the entertainment channels that most people seem to enjoy.  It doesn’t offer ESPN but it has so many other sports channels and add-on packages that you can find just about any game you’re looking for. 


HULU without LIVE TV $7.99 per month.  Access to all of Hulu’s on demand content.

Hulu with LIVE TV $44.99/month (starting February 26 ,2019) with the option to add Premium Channel Packages for additional fee.   Access to all of Hulu’s on demand content plus BTN Network, ESPN, Disney, HGTV, History, TCM, FS1, FS2, Discovery, your local CBS, NBC, and Fox, plus more.  Includes two streams with option to add unlimited.
Streams: Is the number of devices you can watch TV on at the same time, for example TV’s, tablets, phones, laptops, etc.
DVR: Includes 50 hours of cloud storage with the option to upgrade to 200 hours for an additional $14.99 per month
One Source Review: HULU with LIVE TV is a unique service, because you get access to their entire streaming library along with your live TV. Their user interface isn’t the most user friendly and does take some time to get used to.  With fifty hours of cloud DVR included, access to your local channels, sports, several of the most popular channels and the ability to binge watch makes HULU tough to beat.

Streaming TV can help save you hundreds of dollars each year without giving up the channels that are most important to you. These are just some of our favorites here at One Source, and we encourage you to try each of them for yourself.  They all offer a free trial, no contract and you can cancel at any time.
